Banyan Dr (Waiakea Peninsula) Hilo, HI 96720 |
Description
In 1933, film legend Cecil B. DeMille was filming a movie in Hilo, and the Hilo Park Commission encouraged him to plant a banyan tree to commemorate the event. Since then, legends such as Louie Armstrong, Amelia Earhart, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and many others have planted these marvelous trees. Banyan trees grow by sending their roots downward from the branches to reinforce the trunk, creating the vast and sturdy structures that line this expansive drive. Take a cruise among these impressive trees--an all-natural "walk of fame."
